Do you find it stranger to be with sober people when you are tripping or rolling? I think id say rolling for myself because you are so emtional and open. Its kinda strange to be with a sober person sometime, and while im tripping im chillin. What about everyone else?
Being around sober people

it depends on the people. if theyre stoners too and just are sober at the moment, its fine they make me laugh without getting annoying. but around squares ... uncomfortable. im nervous they will find out and some of them try to "trip me out" by annoying the fuck out of me. e.g. waving their hands in front of my face and asking if stuff has pretty colors on it.

My fucking god do sober people have erratic thoughts while you are high on hallucinogens.
I can handle it with ecstasy or ketamine, but holy fuck. People when sober, do not make sense to those while high, I don't know if its the fact that conciousness has just been elevated past the ego to the point where people with functional ego's look schizophrenic or what, but it is really really strange coincidence. I don't understand it myself, but i cannot be around sober people whilst i am high. It does not meld well with my atmosphere.

If it's someone who hasn't tripped before, I find it hard to communicate to them. When I'm trying to explain things I'm thinking to myself, "this person has absolutely no idea what I'm experiencing at the moment". So I guess it can be annoying in a way. It doesn't really matter to me whether they are actively tripping at the time, but more that they have been in a similar state of mind in the past so they can understand what level I'm on.

I don't mind rolling around sober people as long as they're not really anti-drugs or something. It can be strange though, your on totally different wave-lengths.
Tripping though, I get really uncomfortable trying to 'hide' it. I much prefer they just know that I'm tripping so my potential weirdness is validated if that makes sense. Only been in that situation a few times though, most of the time I'm either tripping alone or with other trippers.

When im tripping hard I dislike being around sober people. Unless their very good friends anyone else however i'll just feel fairly uncomfortable around.

Depends on what the sober people are like. If they normally trip but sober at the time i dont mind it as long as there arnt too many of them. But yea on shrooms and acid i hate crowds and i dislike talking to sober people while tripping. Its really weird, i get extreme paranoia when im tripping and see a big group of sober people.
I have friends that trip at work or go out for a walk in the city, personally i could never do that. I have been practising it but never been able to do it.
I luv rolling around anybody wether there sober or not. If im rolling hard i dont even care whos watching me ill most likely dance like a maniac in front of everyone haha They dont call it the hug drug for nothing

Yea I'd have to agree here. They'd have to be close friends and not those of the "square" variety. That being said, I usually avoid being the only person in any group tripping and/or rolling... I don't do either enough to waste a beautiful high all alone.
Tripping alone can be helpful in some ways, but not with a bunch of sober or, even worse, drunk people. Drunk ppl are the absolute worst to be around while doing either psychs or mdma!!

I know its all in the tripper's head, a lot of the paranoia with tripping, and it CAN be played off... but I still do NOT understand how anybody without extremely dark (as in blackish) eyes can get away with it. I notice when a friend's pupils are fully dilated almost instantly... I mean the eyes are the first thing people look at when they are talking to you.
And that fact (eye contact) is the biggest dilemma for me when I trip... I always feel like when I make it I am giving away my tripping 'status' but really by thinking about it so much and trying to over-avoid eye contact is what gives me away. It never fails... but either way i feel like it should not be that hard to notice if somebody in close contact is tripping. JMHO

It definitely depends on setting.. Like, at festivals and stuff I don't care who I'm tripping around, because everybody is pretty accepting of you being crazy (and lots of people are also messed up). Otherwise, I hate tripping with sober people. It makes me paranoid, especially people I've never met or people I know don't do any drugs.
I don't mind rolling with drunk people though. Not rolling hard, but I find drunk people will mostly pass it off as you being drunk too if you're just more social. I'm okay with going to bars or parties with a couple of pills.

That's how I am too. Unless I am REALLY tripping hard, only a small handful of people I am close to and can read me better than some random person on the street can tell...
I don't mind being around sober people while tripping unless they are trying to sell me on jesus or recruit me for the army

Same here, I managed to play a full game of soccer on half an eighth of some pretty potent shrooms and no one knew until I made a comment later about how weird it was running on the field.
My eyes are pretty dark but unless you've spent lots of time around me while Im tripping you cant tell.
As for the OP the only time Im uncomfortable around those who are sober is if Im rolling pretty hard and people are crazy drunk but when Im mid acid trip I can handle drunks pretty well, all you need to do is say some off the wall trippy stuff that in theory makes sense and they usually will get confused and leave. Never been around them on shrooms yet

I'll echo this sentiment. I've tripped with one of my best friends several times before, who's never tripped and always been the "sitter" as it were, and inevitably I struggle to communicate with him at all. Your thought process is so different while tripping it's like they have no hope of understanding you. I've even had to coach him afterwords on how to act because he thinks he understands, but just doesn't and ends up freaking us out sometimes accidentally. This phenomenon alone has really made me realize just how much we take for granted in everyday sober life.
I'm not a fan of being around sober people while tripping at all. If they're squares it severely diminishes the trip's potential. It's definitely better if they're psychoactive friendly but it is still difficult if not impossible to communicate on the same level.
